+1, how much does the custom shop usually charge if someone called them up and wanted a pair of custom wound pickups made for them?

By now, I think every luthier and Ma and Pa music store have gone through their junk boxes...a couple times. That is on the cheap side for a PAF...although I don't think the accountant/lawyer/developer guitar collector a**hats have as much $$$ to indulge their OCD these days.

No. If somebody has a vintage guitar from that era worth $80K+ , putting in a pickup other than another from that period will greatly reduce the value...no matter how good it replicates the original.
I've seen vintage pickup rings go for hundreds of dollars.

Re: 2 grand for ONE PICKUP?!
Makes me wonder what the DC resistance for one of those pickups should really be. That one is 7.6K.
Years ago Seymour rewound an old paf for me and wound it to just over 8K.
From then on I assumed that the 59B at 8.1K was wound to vintage specs and the 59N wound to 7.4K was underwound.
I know those old pafs vary a lot and they were not intentionally calibrated for neck and bridge positions in the 50's and 60's - but that one's wound more like a 59N than a 59B.
